Earlier this year, I
posted a "Two for Tuesday" edition of the League Of Themselves in which singers
were accused of murder - Willie Nelson in 'Monk' and Kid Rock in 'CSI: NY'.
It's a plot device that doesn't happen often, but I have found an earlier
occurrence from the 1960's.....

BOBBY DARIN

From Wikipedia:

Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto; May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973)
was an American singer, songwriter and actor. He performed in a range of music
genres, including pop, rock, jazz, folk, and country.

He started as a
songwriter for Connie Francis, and recorded his own first million-seller "Splish
Splash" in 1958. This was followed by "Dream Lover", "Mack the Knife", and
"Beyond the Sea", which brought him world fame. In 1962, he won a Golden Globe
for his first film Come September, co-starring his wife Sandra Dee.

Although
he made a successful television comeback, his health was beginning to fail, as
he had always expected, following bouts of rheumatic fever in childhood. This
knowledge of his vulnerability had always spurred him on to exploit his musical
talent while still young. He died at 37, following a heart operation in Los
Angeles.

AS SEEN IN:

'Dan Raven'

["The High Price Of Fame"]

SYNOPSIS:

In the premiere episode, Bobby Darin was performing at the Cloister Club in
Hollywood. Nearby, a woman was found dead and clutching an autographed picture
of Bobby Darin. She was heard screaming a name as she died - "Bobby!" The case
was investigated by Lt. Dan Raven.

Just An Old Cowhand On The TiVo Grande

As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
